Rebel discussed her early childhood experiences in detail, including her upbringing in Australia, her relationship with her parents, and the impact of her father's emotional issues. She discussed how those experiences shaped her personality, her career path, and her views on love and relationships.
And as I read through your book Rebel Rising which is out now I was surprised in many ways but also the person that I'd seen on a screen made sense in a bunch of different ways.

I think some of my darkness comes this is a quote from your book I think some of my darkness comes from my dad there is definitely convict history on that side of my family a lot of dodginess.
And then it's often our light side is often created by our dark side in many respects yeah so I see shades of what I would guess was your dark side in those early years of your um story but when you say that your dark side probably came from your father what are you referring to.
So I kind of feel like um that I have friends in the industry right who have had like quite awesome childhoods and you know and and to me sometimes in their work they come across as very vanilla and then I was thinking about I go why aren't they as interesting or something and they're great and they're talented but they're just not as interesting and I normally when I gchat to them you find out oh they have two loving parents and they had a great childhood um and so for me I think why I have certain parts of my personality and like to do comedy and stuff because I have this I have a lightness which definitely comes from my mum and my mum's side of the family that are all like that and then on my dad's side it's just like dodginess everywhere and like yeah like uh I don't you know alcoholism and like addictions and um and and just also a mentality of just I don't know how to explain it best apart from saying it's a bit dodgy but in a way and then sometimes when uh I mean I don't suffer from like actual depression or whatever but then sometimes if you're feeling like you know oh you know uh sometimes I it feels like a mafia sensation when you're like oh I want to get revenge on those people or something you know uh we are like shocked of where these feelings come from and they're normally from the dark side um but if I didn't have that I don't think I'd be as interesting as a as a person or as a performer um and I definitely like have sometimes have an edginess to jokes and stuff which I guess I wouldn't have had if I if I didn't have you know one side of the family be be a bit dodgy um and the other side be light so I knew I knew the difference and I knew I kind of had both but you can embody both and that's quite interesting.
